Would love to be there.

Hard to pick a favourite when most of the elite ranks from around the world will be there.
There's 173 paddlers on the entry list so far.... and from them, I reckon these Aussies:
- Linclon Dews
- Travis Grant
- Paul Jackson
- Jake Jensen
- Kelly Margetts
- Jamie Mitchell
- Beau O'Brien
will feature in the top 15 men alongside:
- Connor Baxter
- Matt Becker
- Danny Ching
- Noa Ginella
- Slater Trout
As for the last 3 in the top 15, there could be some late entries and some darkhorses from around the world.
I'm not game to pick which 10 of these guys will make the final!

For the ladies, there's 3 Aussie girls who'll be up amongst it:
- Terrene Black
- Angie Jackson
- Sondra Purser
with the rest of the top 10 including:
- Candice Appleby
- Halie Harrison
- Gillian Gibree
- Jen Lee
- Talia Gangini

There's a bunch of other Aussies over there too so best of luck to:
- Steve Walker
- Neil English
- Geoff Dews
- Chris Parker
- Sue & Danny Sheard
- Mark Mitchell
and anyone else i've missed.

The event should be live webcast on quiksilver.com/surf/events/pro-france.html

and i'm sure Chris will keep us updated with all the action at: www.supracer.com/waikiki-paddle-festival/

interesting list ali. i would have kelly in there somewhere. he has a habit of going better the longer these type of races go. this survivor type race will suit him.
